Jasper Goodall New Goulston Street

Painting London’s New Goulston Street’s shutters with animals that could have lived in the area during the last ice age, Jasper Goodall’s contribution to this epic project, conceived and curated by Jessica Tibbles of Electric Blue Gallery, seeks to remind us that long before the city, there was a different kind of wilderness, populated by Wolves, Hyenas and Mammoths where Humankind was the minority species.

This project sees the gallery space extended beyond its traditional white walls and out onto the blank corrugated canvas of eleven surrounding streets. Artists including Jasper Goodall, Ben Eine, Zevs, and D*Face, are painting the East End shop shutters so that, when they close for the day, the streets surrounding Petticoat Lane market are transformed into a free contemporary art gallery. Over a year in planning, by completion it will be one of the biggest permanent public installations in the world.

“FACES”, a show by the Artists featured in the project, opens on Thursday 16th September.
